A lot of people who identify as pro-democracy, pro-human rights protestors are indistinguishable from hate groups. Most, if not all, hate groups think of themselves as the voice of oppressed people, demanding their rights. That's why they're always linking "Harrison Bergeron" and quoting Orwell.

It is, and that’s kind of my point. Vile people will use good things, too. I’m not willing to forego having nice things just because people I loathe might also like them.

That's a very reasonable position to have! I am not confident that CDC holds that position, and if they do I am not confident that they will indefinitely.

I clearly can’t speak for the cDc or anyone in it. However, I’d be absolutely gobsmacked if the gang believed it was possible to make “privacy for everyone, as long as we agree with them”. Inherent in privacy is that you can’t know what other people are saying unless they want you to.

Join the discord and like talk to them... They're real human people.

Both also breathe oxygen.
